In existence for over 50 years, the FRIENDS help the library become a more visible asset to the East Cleveland community and help support library services. You can help by taking an active role in the organization, and your ideas for FRIENDS’ activities are always welcome. Please consider volunteering your time and talents. The mission of the FRIENDS is to promote a better understanding of the needs of the library throughout the community and to lead in the development of programs which can extend and improve the use of the library services and facility.

FRIENDS membership dollars have recently supported:

• East Cleveland Public Library’s 100th year celebration

• Purchase of historical marker for the library

• Summer reading programs for children and teens

• The ECCAMP mentorship program (in partnership with Cuyahoga Arts & Culture and Neighborhood Connections)

Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 5:30 pm.
